Bigger Wheels Have a Longer Contact Patch
The contact patch is the amount of tire you have on the ground at any one time as the wheels goes through its rotation. As The diameter of the wheel increases from 26" to 29", the shape of the contact patch gets longer. The benefits of this are noticeable. For technical climbs, the added length increases traction as the rider can shift their weight more freely without losing pressure on the contact patch. In addition, the increased contact patch length on a 29er benefits the rider when cornering in uneven terrain as the tire will want to stay in contact with an obstacle and not skip over it. Last, in mud, sand or snow, the longer contact patch can help keep the tire on top of the surface as opposed to sinking in and bogging down. Think about snowshoes. They are designed to keep you on top of the snow, where the going is easy.
